Colour that walks in before you do.

The Paige is a relaxed fit dress made from rayon linen, in a rich chartreuse. It has dramatic cap sleeves, a scoop neckline, a fitted yoke over a softly gathered skirt, and two deep side pockets. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

Look closer and the details do the work. Topstitching traces the neckline and runs down the centre front seam, the cap sleeves hold their bold, squared shape, and a single button keyhole closes the back neck. The rayon linen has a soft, matte handle and an easy drape, so the skirt swings as you move.

Let the colour lead. Coral flats and bright beads turn it into a statement; a tan sandal and a straw bag calm it right down. Either way, you'll have your hands in those pockets all day.

FAQ

How does this relaxed fit dress fit?
The Paige is cut relaxed through the bodice and skirt, so there is room to move without it swamping you. The yoke sits just above the waist, and a single button keyhole at the back neck makes it easy to get on and off. The dramatic cap sleeves give the shoulders shape without restricting your arms.

What fabric is it made from and how does it wear?
Rayon linen gives you the look of linen with a softer, smoother handle. It drapes rather than standing stiff, so the skirt swings as you walk while the cap sleeves and yoke hold their shape. It has a soft, matte finish that lets the chartreuse really glow.

How do I wash and care for it?
Hand wash only, and wash dark colours separately. We suggest washing by hand to ensure the longevity of your garment, because a lot of care went into making it. Treated gently, the Paige will hold its colour and shape season after season, ready whenever you want it.

What can I wear the Paige with?
Let the colour lead. Coral flats and bright beads, as in our shoot, turn it into a statement. For something calmer, try a tan sandal and a straw bag. Throw a crisp white shirt over it on cooler evenings, and keep your hands exactly where they want to be: in those pockets.

Where is it made?
The Paige is made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team. Like every Signature by Des style, it's produced in a limited run of no more than 100 pieces, so once this chartreuse is gone, it's gone. Free delivery applies on orders over R1500.
